Tom Cruise plans to do give his cult religion another 'boost' by bankrolling a movie based on Scientology teachings starring his wife's best friend Victoria Beckham. Victoria, who has not acted since her first attempt in the 1997 movie Spice World, will play the bride of an alien leader called a Thetan, which Scientologists claim is an immortal spiritual being, present in all humans. Tom chose Victoria for the role because she is a "comic genius" - just in case there was anyone left in the world who didn't think he is a (Christmas) fruit cake. The fruity picture of Victoria Beckham above is a bizarre artwork which was commissioned by dairy company Muller to raise money for the UK Cancer Research charity.
